| THE
LIGHTHOUSE ON HOBSONS ISLAND, MAHONE BAY, c. 1930 |

This
lighthouse is no more. The island is now a tiny shoal known as Hobsons
Nose because of its shape. The source for this painting was a black and white photograph,
courtesy of the Nova Scotia Archives and Records Management, and it is one
of a series on historic lighthouses. |
|
I enjoy the
process of extrapolating visual material for sometimes fuzzy old photos
and bring back to life a scene that can be seen no more. |

Other paintings is this historic series
are Quaker Island Lighthouse, and Martello Tower Lighthouse |
